  • Patent number: 11135967
    Abstract: A large vehicle signaling system utilizing at least two signals in conjunction with the vehicle's lighting system to mirror the vehicle's brake and turn signals. The at least two signals may be attached to the rear face of the vehicle or brackets that allow them to pivot and move away from the rear face when not in use. The at least two signals should be positioned at a height of at least 80 inches from the ground so that they may be seen by a driver even if there are other vehicles between the driver and the large vehicle. When positioned in this way, the signaling system may allow for drivers of large vehicles to maneuver more safely as other drivers will be more aware of their signals.

  • Patent number: 11131449
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a lighting device including a light transmittable shell, a conductive unit and a light source. The light transmittable shell has an inner space and a mounting opening connected to the inner space. The light source is mounted around the mounting opening such that the LEDs in the light source are arranged along the edge of the mounting opening. The light from the light source transmits through the light transmittable shell from the edge of the mounting opening, leading to a glowing effect of the light transmittable shell, improving the lighting efficiency of the lighting device. Furthermore, the LEDs are distributed along the edge of the mounting opening and have direct contact with the flowing air in open space, so the heat-dissipation of the LEDs is effective enough without extra cooling components.
